Tettigonia viridissima, the great green bush crickets, is a large species of bush cricket belonging to the subfamily Tetttigoniinae. 


This species can be encountered in most of Europe, in the eastern Palearctic realm, in the Near East, and in North America, especially in meadows, grasslands, prairies, and occasionally in gardens at an elevation up to 1800 meter above sea level. Crickets are either green or white. They can live on the ground, in trees, or in bushes, where they feed largely on aphids and ants. The adult males grow up to 26 - 28mm ( 1.1 - 1.4 in ) long, while females reach 32 - 42mm. Crickets generally live for 90 days, depending on the reason and predators.

Crickets can bite, but it isn't painful and it is highly unlikely that they will. They are also not poisonous. So, other than mental anguish, these pests can't hurt you. However, the primary danger associated with crickets is not their bite but the parasites and diseases they carry, like Escherichia coli and Salmonella. Cricket feces contain worms that may cause painful sores and rashes on human skin if contacted. These insects can also make you sick with symptoms similar to the flu.
